In the bottom of the inning, Tech added three runs on three hits and a bases loaded walk to extend its lead to 6-1.

Yankees reliever Rivera now has blood clot

NEW YORK — Mariano Rivera has a blood clot in his right calf, the latest health problem for the longtime New York Yankees closer who tore a knee ligament last week while shagging fly balls during batting practice.

Rivera is on blood-thinning medication intended to dissolve the clot and said Wednesday he is OK, though he was scared when he received the diagnosis. He needs to spend at least a week or two strengthening his knee before he has surgery to repair his torn anterior cruciate ligament — but he said that would have been the case regardless of the blood clot.

Strengthening the knee now will put him in a better position when he begins his rehabilitation program. after the operation. He must stop taking the blood thinners 24 hours before the surgery, he said.
